Default #Unicorn optioned 460's

There are always the non-nav 460 unicorns




I noticed this '10 model with grille camera so thought full equivalent for the '10-'13 Driver Support Package.... but with no LDA button. This is actually the first I have seen one optioned with just wide-view front and side cameras, pre-collision, radar cruise and crawl.

Wow that is indeed a rare one. The price isn't bad either.

I don't imagine too many dealers these days option rigs without nav but here is one Wilmington, DE

Looks like it at least gets the full-size screen though. Buying a new Lexus without Nav seems like a poor choice to me and I am surprised a “Luxury” brand would even make this an option on a 2018 model when it should be standard. If resale is a concern with the new buyer your car will be the last choice for someone looking for a used car when you try to sell it.

Not my personal choice but it would probably make a good "build" vehicle for someone who was going to own long term and gut it for off-road upgrades. One of the reasons some sought out the non-nav 10-13 models was that the climate controls were all buttons from a simplicity/ and long term reliability perspective. Here we still have to go into infotainment so that argument is out the door for '14+. I've never personally had any failures of the infotainment system in any of my vehicles. The first car I ever had with a nav was a CD based 2002 Maxima. Part of the HVAC was integrated into that as well.

The most common GX configuration in oversea markets are like that: MTS, Crawl, Wide view (plus driver side camera for MTS around view), Radar cruise and Pre-crashing. Just as I bought the steering wheel switch panel, no LDA. Frankly, as a primary off-road capable vehicle, LDA is a useless function anyway. Also only to US market, there is a Drive Attention Monitor option that is part of Driver Support Package, and linked with Pre-crashing warning. None of those associated parts number available in oversea market inventories nor as order-able parts.

Trivia more than anything..

Not really a unicorn but likely just some photoshop errors on the Canadian site. I don't think that part exists with just the wide view monitor on the left side of steering wheel and no radar cruise on the right. I could be wrong.

Here we have full on crawl but just Drive Monitor button on steering wheel. No packages are optioned this way according to Canadian Lexus site.



Closer view here but this one is a non-nav GX with crawl and just the wide monitor button. Button below AUDIO. As far as I can tell all GXs in Canada have NAV.

I believe there are only 3 variations for each color: the one without anything, one with cam & pre-crashing, one with cam, pre-crashing and LDA. Don't think it had one with only cam button.

The nav is so antiquated it's a crime that they charge for it. Interesting that you get the fullsize screen now though.

That's one of those 10-13 unicorns there.

Only thing I remember someone posting about was working in a dealership and only seeing one of them in person.

Pic of the screen on just climate.

I have been looking for used one and you are right, gx 460 with no nav is not common.

But interestingly, carmax has two of them on sale, both are 10-13 model. Here is the other one: https://www.carmax.com/car/17126855.

I wish the gx 460 ac control can be controlled without going into screen.

Ironically it has a physical fan switch too.. this is desired function of many with nav.

Yes, if only the fan switch is a hard button on the one with nav.

Possible option for a 10-13 base owner who wanted to remove the nav for personal reasons or it failed.

No idea if plug and play. New cost is $950-$1000 which is substantially cheaper than new cost of nav.

Vehicle customizations are done on the center screen and mult-info switch versus nav on these 10-13 models.
